Re: FW: d links

further on this, there are some web savvy people who are blind who hit the
site often and they've not seen fit to complain.
or if they have, the complaint went to someone who may not have known what
to do with it or if they did, there's a pollicy at work here and I hope so
I don't see a problem with the site.
now, if there was some that said "photo of the whitehouse", I might want a
description.
